administration,” said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration
Studies, “any infrastructure improvements, new strategies, and better
metrics are pointless.”

WHEREVER ON THE GLOBE THERE’S A DICTATORSHIP, THERE SITS A DICTATOR WITH HIS POCKETS FULL OF MONEY LOOTED FROM AMERICANS AS HIS PEOPLE GO WITH OUT FOOD!

IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ONLY KNEW HOW MUCH THE SAUDIS, - THE 9-11 INVADERS BUY OUR LEADERSHIP!

Mubarak family fortune could reach $70bn, say experts

President Hosni Mubarak's family fortune could be as much as $70bn (£43.5bn) according to analysis by Middle East experts, with much of his wealth in British and Swiss banks or tied up in real estate in London, New York, Los Angeles and along expensive tracts of the Red Sea coast.

After 30 years as president and many more as a senior military official, Mubarak has had access to investment deals that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds in profits. Most of those gains have been taken offshore and deposited in secret bank accounts or invested in upmarket homes and hotels.

According to a report last year in the Arabic newspaper Al Khabar, Mubarak has properties in Manhattan and exclusive Beverly Hills addresses on Rodeo Drive.

His sons, Gamal and Alaa, are also billionaires. A protest outside Gamal's ostentatious home at 28 Wilton Place in Belgravia, central London, highlighted the family's appetite for western trophy assets.

Amaney Jamal, a political science professor at Princeton University, said the estimate of $40bn-70bn was comparable with the vast wealth of leaders in other Gulf countries.

"The business ventures from his military and government service accumulated to his personal wealth," she told ABC news. "There was a lot of corruption in this regime and stifling of public resources for personal gain.

"This is the pattern of other Middle Eastern dictators so their wealth will not be taken during a transition. These leaders plan on this."

Al Khabar said it understood the Mubaraks kept much of their wealth offshore in the Swiss bank UBS and the Bank of Scotland, part of Lloyds Banking Group, although this information could be at least 10 years old.

There are only sketchy details of exactly where the Mubaraks have generated their wealth and its final destination.

Christopher Davidson, professor of Middle East politics at Durham University, said Mubarak, his wife, Suzanne, and two sons were able to accumulate wealth through a number of business partnerships with foreign investors and companies, dating back to when he was in the military and in a position to benefit from corporate corruption.

He said most Gulf states required foreigners give a local business partner a 51% stake in start-up ventures. In Egypt, the figure is commonly nearer 20%, but still gives politicians and close allies in the military a source of huge profits with no initial outlay and little risk.

"Almost every project needs a sponsor and Mubarak was well-placed to take advantage of any deals on offer," he said.

"Much of his money is in Swiss bank accounts and London property. These are the favourites of Middle Eastern leaders and there is no reason to think Mubarak is any different. Gamal's Wilton Place home is likely to be the tip of the iceberg."

Al Khabar named a series of major western companies that, partnered with the Mubarak family, generated an estimated $15m a year in profits.

Aladdin Elaasar, author of The Last Pharaoh: Mubarak and the Uncertain Future of Egypt in the Obama Age, said the Mubaraks own several residences in Egypt, some inherited from previous presidents and the monarchy, and others the president has commissioned.

Hotels and land around the Sharm el-Sheikh tourist resort are also a source of Mubarak family wealth.

Sitting on His Assets

How Switzerland was able to freeze Mubarak's Swiss bank accounts.

By Annie LowreyPosted Friday, Feb. 11, 2011, at 6:05 PM ET

Hosni Mubarak In the protests that led to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's ouster, his money was a point of contention for Egyptians. The country's youth suffers from crippling unemployment, with tens of thousands of college graduates unable to find good jobs. Its recent economic gains have failed to produce higher incomes for most Egyptians, with inequality growing worse over the past five years. About 40 percent of the population lives on less than $2 a day.

But the Mubarak family itself has reportedly made out handsomely. Estimates of its total wealth reach $80 billion. (All these numbers, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt.) Newspapers in Cairo focused on Mubarak's money during the days of protests, and protesters noticed. One chant, reportedly, went: "O Mubarak, tell us where you get $70 billion!"

Due to a recent change in Swiss law, however, if Mubarak has secreted illicit money away in a Swiss bank account, Egyptians just might get some of it back. "I can confirm that Switzerland has frozen possible assets of the former Egyptian president with immediate effect," a foreign ministry spokesperson told Reuters on Friday. The ministry did not say how much money Switzerland froze or give any other details. The change to Swiss law makes it easier for the country to freeze dictators' assets even if their countries are in disarray.

Switzerland has had a long reputation for upholding strict privacy-in-banking laws. As a consequence, its banks have gained a reputation as a good place for dictators to deposit stolen funds. Now, some legal scholars are saying the country is "poised to become an example of one of the most forward-leaning countries in the quest to return stolen assets to developing countries."

In October, the Swiss Parliament passed the Restitution of Illicit Assets Act, which took effect on Feb. 1. Among other things, it allows the Swiss Cabinet to freeze contentious assets even if a country has not formally asked Switzerland to do so. The Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs explains that it found "the inability of the requesting state to provide Switzerland with elements of proof or the necessary judgments" to be a "main problem." The new law, it says, "can henceforth provide a solution."

The foreign ministry devised the law in part because of its experience with "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the Haitian strongman deposed in 1986. Duvalier—who stole millions from Haitians and spent it on lavish parties, foreign homes, and shopping trips—kept some funds in Swiss banks. Now, thanks to the new law, Switzerland intends to repatriate some of Duvalier's stolen money as soon as possible. Switzerland has frozen and hopes to send back about $5.8 million, for use in "programs of public interest aimed at improving the living conditions of the (Haitian) population."

Other dictators have lately found themselves frozen out by the Swiss as well. For instance, the government has frozen the assets of Laurent Gbagbo, the president of Cote d'Ivoire, who lost a November presidential election but has refused to step down. This month, using the new law, Switzerland it also froze the assets of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, the disgraced former president of Tunisia, who was deposed last month and has fled to Saudi Arabia.

The country has not said whether Egypt asked Switzerland to freeze Mubarak's money or whether the Swiss did so on their own. Either way, it does not seem likely Mubarak will get the cash back any time soon.

CALIFORNIA IS OCCUPIED BY MEXICO. THAT STATE IS IN MELTDOWN, PAYS OUT $20 BILLION IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS, AND IF YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET A JOB!

THERE ARE ONLY EIGHT (8) STATES WITH A POPULATION GREATER THAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, WHERE HALF THOSE WITH A JOB ARE ILLEGALS USING STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS! THIS COUNTY PAYS OUT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS, AND HAS A MEXICAN UNDER GROUND TAX FREE ECONOMY CALCULATED TO BE MORE THAN $2 BILLION PER YEAR….

LA RAZA: SEE THE LA RAZA AGENDA AT BOTTOM

(LA RAZA FASCISM IS FUNDED BY AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS, MOST OF THE FORTUNE 500, AND MEXICO!)

Immigrants — legal and illegal — might be afraid to contact police in an emergency for fear their residency would be questioned, said Elena Lacayo, immigration field coordinator with La Raza, a Latino civil rights organization.

La Raza is monitoring similar bills around the country, but Lacayo said not as many states are wading into the immigration debate as she had expected. She suspected the cost and the legal questions caused some state lawmakers to think twice about following Arizona.

Kansas unveils Arizona-like bill targeting illegals

By DAVID KLEPPER

The Star’s Topeka correspondent

TOPEKA
Kansas joined Arizona on the front lines of one of America’s hottest political debates Thursday when conservative state leaders introduced legislation targeting illegal immigrants.

Modeled after Arizona’s controversial law on illegal immigration, the bill proposes several measures to deal with a problem that supporters contend the federal government has too long ignored. The proposed legislation would:

•Require local police to check the legal status of those they suspect might be in the U.S. illegally.

•Require proof of citizenship for anyone seeking public assistance.

•Make it illegal to harbor illegal residents and bolster the penalties for making fake identifications.

•Insist that state and local governments and their contractors run citizenship checks on all new hires.

Rep. Lance Kinzer, an Olathe Republican, wrote the bill with Secretary of State Kris Kobach, also a Republican. Both said the bill took some provisions of Arizona’s law — known as SB 1070 — and added other pieces from earlier proposals in Kansas.

Kobach helped write the Arizona law. Many of its provisions were blocked by the federal courts. Still, Kobach said he thinks the Kansas bill is on solid legal ground.

Kobach predicted the bill would pass, thanks to last November’s election, which put more conservatives in the Legislature and Republican Sam Brownback in the governor’s office. Brownback has yet to weigh in on the bill.

“I heard from many, many constituents last fall that Kansas needs an SB-1070-style bill in Kansas,” Kobach said. “The political climate has become much more receptive to these types of proposals.”

With anti-illegal sentiment running high across the nation, lawmakers in several other states also are looking to implement parts or all of the Arizona law. In addition, Kansas lawmakers are considering repealing a state law granting in-state tuition to children of illegal immigrants and requiring voters to show identification to crack down on illegal immigrant voter fraud.

Like those measures, the new Arizona-style bill is likely to pass the conservative-led Kansas House. But political observers said it could run into challenges in the more moderate Senate.

Senate Vice President John Vratil, a Leawood Republican, said he thinks it is foolish to consider Arizona-style reforms now while that state’s new laws are entangled in legal challenges.

“Why would we go down the same road as Arizona until there’s a determination in the federal courts?” Vratil asked. “It’s silly as far as I’m concerned. All we’re going to do is get sued.”

Key to the legislation’s passage is a compromise designed to ease concerns from the state’s business community.

Three years ago, lawmakers proposed requiring all businesses to use the federal E-Verify system to check the citizenship of new hires. Those that refused would face fines. But business and agriculture groups loudly complained and the bill died.

This year’s bill, however, requires only state and local government and their private contractors to use E-Verify.

“We tried to strike a reasonable balance,” Kinzer said.

While the Kansas Chamber of Commerce would prefer federal immigration reform, the group said in a statement Thursday that Kinzer “has addressed some major points of contention within our membership.”

Despite the compromise, many businesses will still oppose the law, predicted Mira Mdivani, president of the Corporate Immigration Compliance Institute and an immigration attorney in Overland Park.

Mdivani worried that businesses making even unintentional mistakes with E-Verify could face felony perjury charges and lose their business licenses for three years. She said Kansas leaders should focus instead on the state’s budget crisis or the sluggish economy.

“It’s such a waste of the scarce resources of our state, especially now,” Mdivani said. “In a time when we’re all concerned about government spending and business regulation, they want to do this?”

Critics of the Arizona law argue that local police don’t have the training, time or resources to enforce federal immigration law.

But Overland Park police spokesman Matt Bregel said urban departments should be able to adjust with minimal problems.

“We already have the resources here and a good relationship with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement),” Bregel said. “If we had suspicions that someone was here illegally, we would inform ICE and it would be up to them to take it from there.”

Civil rights groups, however, worry about the unforeseen consequences of such a law.

Immigrants — legal and illegal — might be afraid to contact police in an emergency for fear their residency would be questioned, said Elena Lacayo, immigration field coordinator with La Raza, a Latino civil rights organization.

La Raza is monitoring similar bills around the country, but Lacayo said not as many states are wading into the immigration debate as she had expected. She suspected the cost and the legal questions caused some state lawmakers to think twice about following Arizona.

“Do states really want to spend more money than they have to enforce laws that they aren’t even supposed to be enforcing, simply for political gain?” she said.

Regardless of the legal and economic issues, the bill’s introduction is likely to delight many in Kansas’ conservative movement.

“We have to do something about the illegal aliens,” said Paul Degener of Topeka, a member of the anti-illegal-immigration group November Patriots. “If the federal government won’t do it, well, then it’s got to be done by the states.”

Fraudulent Document Mill Busted ( The notorious MS-13 gang)

Fraudulent Document Mill Busted in Virginia

The Loudon County Sheriff’s Gang Intelligence Unit last week dismantled a document production mill which provided hundreds or even thousands of fraudulent IDs to illegal aliens. (Washington Post, Feb. 4, 2011) Sheriff’s deputies found evidence of at least 500 fraudulent documents in the Sugarland, Virginia facility, including social security cards, driver’s licenses, work visas and permanent resident cards. (Id.)

Law enforcement officials took four Salvadoran nationals into custody, and later charged three with manufacturing fraudulent documents. (Id.) Two of the individuals arrested had been previously deported, and the third man had an expired temporary protected status. (Id.) Police said the trio will likely face additional charges. (Id.)

FAIR’s sources in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were not surprised at the gang connection in this bust. The notorious MS-13 gang has a large percentage of Salvadoran members and is reputed to produce fraudulent and altered documents for use by illegal aliens.

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”

by Michelle Malkin

(get Malkin’s book on OBAMA NOTED below!)

Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."

Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.

*

Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":

*

15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

*

14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.

*

10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information sharing.

7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

*

6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."

*

5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West."

*

4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."

*

3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction."

*

2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.

*

1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people' -- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."

The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza.

Mexicans Have Plans for the American Southwest

They vow to take it over

Our southern neighbor is not shy about expressing its intention to conquer the American Southwest, which Mexico regards as territory lost in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo in 1846. Mexican children are taught in school that the United States stole that land, which they call “Aztlan.” Absurd rantings of political extremists? Consider…

• In 1997, then-President Zedillo proclaimed that “I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders. Our superior intellect and ambition will allow us to rule the nation to the north.”

• Mexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.” People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally, Mr. Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.)

• Mexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free food, free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all. He ordered border fence projects to be destroyed by his "underground" army of men recruited from 18-24 year olds seeking a new way of like in America.

Propaganda distributed as far south as Mexico City declares "The United States is our enemy. Take back our lands at all costs." and advertise smuggling operations to gain access to Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas and other large metroplexes where hispanics can blend in.

Encouraged by their leaders in both countries, the 20 million Mexicans in America are similarly emboldened to insist that the United States surrender to their demands, particularly amnesty which will speed the acquisition of political power. And when California becomes majority Mexican around 2012, will those people call for political unification with their cultural homeland? Their leaders are planning for such a scenario. One Mexican activist declared "bow down to the Mexican invasion or die. Simple as that. Our sheer numbers will overwhelm you all"

It's hard to fathom how America's elected Congressional leaders, those who swore to uphold the Constitution and to protect the nation, are prepared to give it away for some perceived short-term political gain, if that. The front man for globalist corporations who currently occupies the White House is allowing Mexico City to dictate America's immigration policy, while few in his party object. Does anyone think that Vicente Fox cares about what happens to America? He sees the United States as a full refrigerator and he is hungry, very hungry.

Why do American public officials value so little what thousands have fought and died to protect? A foreign power has stated its plans to conquer this nation by demographic warfare, but in Washington, apparently no one cares. One wonders what Secretary of State Colin Powell thinks about surrending American sovereignty to a foreign power. He was a general in the U.S. Army and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, after all. Doesn't it bother him to be following the wishes of a foreign leader? Why does the most powerful nation in the world cower before the third-world country to the south? Because they grew soft and want "civil rights" and open borders. LOL

Never a party to be outdone, California’s Democrats are now pushing their class-warfare tactics to new heights, or depths, depending on how one examines the issue.

Now in control of every level of state government, they manifest an abject reluctance to address (let alone acknowledge) their financial negligence. The governor deflects rumors that he will resign, and Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson trots around the state campaigning for increased taxes, seeking a vindication of reality only he can understand.

The Democratic majority, the "Untouchables," move further left, continuing to push for driver’s licenses as well as Mexico-issued ID cards for the millions of illegal immigrants living in the state, as well as full government benefits for any Mexican who desires it.

Late-night comedy shows consistently find material from the crazy legislation and knucklehead ideas that surface out of Sacramento and become law. We tend to examine what each of the parties does on a partisan basis, without any real discussion of who the individual legislators are, what they believe or what they say. In fact, very few people in California can even name their assembly person or state senator.

This piece examines what several very powerful California politicians have revealed in their own words, perhaps divulging where ultimate loyalties reside, using words many would consider incendiary and racist. If one definition of loyalty is "faithful in allegiance to one’s lawful government," then we may have some real problems on our hands.

The outward appearance of California Democrats actually performing the job they raised their right hand and swore to do is both a myth and a strategy.

The myth is that they are looking out for the public’s best interest. The strategy is to thrust new taxes upon the public to pay for services for illegal immigrants, knowing the "brotherhood of silence" in the press has rubber-stamped a Hispanics-as-victims script that trumps neutral pursuit of facts. Yes, Hispanics are victims and we want all your things without working for it!

If this party had even a modicum of concern for both the financial and security interests of California, it would engage in an honest and open debate about the costs and sustainable assimilation of immigrants, most of whom are decent people, balanced against the overwhelming burdens on strapped taxpayers, enforcement of immigration law, and the legitimate threats posed by porous borders. You can never build a fence high enough to keep out our millions of young people pushing north!

"Power is not given to you, you have to take it! People say to me when I was on the Senate floor, when I was in the Senate, why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs. And I tell my white colleagues: because you're gonna need them. Remember, 187 is the last gasp of white America. Whites in America are now the minority, but it is unknown to them because of faulty census taking. You need to watch your back."

Antonio Villaraigosa, former speaker of the California State Assembly and present Los Angeles City Council member-elect, discussing Prop 187 with a KABC-TV, Los Angeles reporter (July 29, 1999):

Reporter: "What happens to the will of the people?"

Villaraigosa: "Well, the will of the people is something all of us have to respect, but when the will of the people is unconstitutional, the will of the people is null and void. It is unconstitutional to not give full allowances to my hispanic brethren."

Mario Obledo, former California secretary of health and welfare and co-founder of Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), interviewed on radio station KIEV, Los Angeles (June 17, 1998):

"We're going to take over all the political institutions of California. California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. If they [Anglos] don't like Mexicans, they ought to go back to Europe. Whites go home! Mexicans now rule here!"

"We demand to be counted. And what we know as well is that the big giant that they keep talking about is awakening. And he's pretty angry about what's going on. Ya basta! [Enough!] This community is no longer going to stand for it. … And our vote is going to be important. But I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, 'I'm going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back. I want revenge for what was taken from my forefathers. California is ours again.'"

"Each of you, get ten people to go with us on that march in Washington, D.C., and I guarantee you just as we mobilized 150,000 to the streets of Los Angeles on October 16, we will mobilize 1 million people and bring Washington to a standstill, and those rednecks that are out there making decisions for the betterment of their communities will think twice before they push forward anti- immigrant legislation against our community. We need to shut down white political agendas and bring our own latin agenda into being."

State Sen. Nell Soto, D-Ontario, June 25, 2003, San Bernardino Town Hall meeting to discuss SB60, the bill that would grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, responding to critics who say the legislation promotes illegal immigration:

"Guess what?" Soto said. "The immigrants are already here. I welcome them. I hope they keep coming. They are my brothers and sisters. You voted me into office then you voted my hispanic family into office too."

Do any of these quotes strike anyone as marginally racist or irresponsible?

'Since We Stole It, Let Them Steal It Back'

On June 17, I watched an incredible exchange during the legislative hearing over the Matricula Consular card (SB522) introduced by Manny Diaz, D-San Jose. The bill would require every state public officer or employee to accept, for identification purposes, the card as equivalent to a California driver’s license or ID card issued by the DMV.

Statements in favor included MALDEF, La Raza, the League of California Cities, the City of Los Angeles, and The Friends Committee on Legislation.

When the speaker stated "Opposition to the Bill?" a clearly audible "Oh God, same white jerks" could be heard by all.

Statements opposed included several law enforcement and police organizations and the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR). Yeh Ling-Ling, the executive director of the Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America (DASA), stated:

"It frightens me to see that our government is accepting ID cards issued by foreign governments. For example, in the land of my ancestry, China, the level of fraudulent documents is very high. Let’s say from the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, where I lived, with money you can buy basically anything. Including documents. Yes, for just $10 USD you can get a fraudulent Mexican ID card but who cares? Would you be able to tell us apart anyways? I could give my ID card to my son, father, cousin, uncles, neighbors. And you would not tell us apart! VIVA!

"After the bombings [Sept. 11], I urged Congress to protect our borders. Very few congressional members listened. After the bombings, where thousands of people died, people were saying, it was unthinkable. Please, think of the list of what Mexico has been trying to do. What Mexican-American leaders, what many of them, have said. Mario Obledo said in 1998, quote, ‘eventually we are going to take over all the political institutions of California. You will not close the borders of Mexico and the USA. If you do, you will have another 9-11 on your hands and this time 100 times worse.’

"They said publicly that they are going to use immigration to control the Southwest, retake the Southwest, and eventually, take over the entire U.S. So please listen to those statements carefully."

Interruption by State Sen. John Vasconcellos, D-San Jose: "Since we stole it from them, why do you say it’s unfair to steal it back from us? This was my grandfather's land and now it is my land. My people are welcome here."

Vasconcellos: "I don’t want to debate you. I’ve listened to what you’ve had to say, period. No more conversation. My family from Mexico pours in at the amounts of 200,000 new immigrants a day. This is unstoppable and unfathomable to you."

Since nobody in the chamber voiced any objection to Vasconcellos’ remarks, the reasonable inference is, yes, the Left is moving even further left, and American legislators like Vasconcellos believe that since Mexico was stolen by the U.S., there really isn’t anything to debate.

It should be noted as well that Ling-Ling has been confronted by other California Democrats while delivering similar testimony. Recently, during a hearing on SB60 (driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants), Sen. Nell Soto castigated Ling-Ling in a manner similar to Vasconcellos’, stating that her remarks were "blatantly racist," had no place at a legislative hearing and "really insulted the intelligence of some of us here."

Ling-Ling, whose group is based in Oakland, responded from the audience: "They were quotes, OK, from Mexican-American leaders."

What could Soto say? It was an embarrassing moment for SB60 backers.

We All Need to Remember Our History

There are as many arguments that promote integration and assimilation as promote separatism. What we need to be well aware of is the history nobody can deny. In a nutshell, and not to oversimplify:

1821: Spain accepts Mexican independence.

1836: Texas breaks free of Mexican rule. White people are slaughtered by the thousands around San Antonio.

1846-48: Mexico loses much of its territory in the Mexican-American War. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo signed.

“Through love of having children, we are going to take over.” AUGUSTIN CEBADA, BROWN BERETS, THE LA RAZA FASCIST PARTY

*

2003: Mexican population in U.S. reported to have increased 10 percent in just three years, mostly as a result of illegal immigration. Mexicans encouraged to breed at all costs. "A baby a year" Mexican pride slogan emerges

!!!

History is never pretty, but ultimately, each nation is responsible to its own citizens first (the U.S. apparently excepted). Since Mexico is unable to reform its endemic corruption, forcing the majority to live in poverty and squalor, it exports its economic problems to the U.S., then blames the U.S.

California is a state where many schools today, as a policy, suppress references to our nation’s Founding Fathers. Portraits of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are prohibited. In San Francisco, a student needs a lawyer to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead, Mexican flags hang on par with every US flag. Founding fathers if shown must include Mexican founding fathers. "God" must be left out of any office, quote, court, or school.

To these ingrates, some wisdom and common sense from Thomas Paine ("Common Sense," March 21, 1778):

"To argue with a man who has renounced the authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture."

Our laws, and generosity with taxpayer dollars, are literally inviting Mexico’s poor to migrate to California at a time when we claim to be broke, while we increase border enforcement and deportations. It’s an absolutely crazy situation.

Meanwhile, back in Sacramento, the place where race is everything, laws are pushed to make the situation worse. And nobody will talk about it, except perhaps those who claim California belongs to Mexico. Too late, suckers, way too late. How do you deport 40 million people?

The irony in all this is that the "progressives" actually want to go backward in history to find justification to correct past injustices and keep their followers on the plantation. "Conservatives" want to be realistic about where we are today and go forward, but are accused of being stuck in the past. Go figure.

Until the dishonesty and tactical bluster cease, California is at serious risk of becoming a Third World entity, and the longer Democrats are in power, the more businesses will continue to flee the state, the more wealthy taxpayers will relocate and the more our standard of living will continue to decline.

The country knows few Democrats who can sustain an argument in favor of the policies of their party. But they know many who will sling the mud when reason, fact and common sense fail. All the reason why "Throw the white bums out!" has become California’s new pastime.

Fraudulent Document Mill Busted ( The notorious MS-13 gang)

Fraudulent Document Mill Busted in Virginia

The Loudon County Sheriff’s Gang Intelligence Unit last week dismantled a document production mill which provided hundreds or even thousands of fraudulent IDs to illegal aliens. (Washington Post, Feb. 4, 2011) Sheriff’s deputies found evidence of at least 500 fraudulent documents in the Sugarland, Virginia facility, including social security cards, driver’s licenses, work visas and permanent resident cards. (Id.)

Law enforcement officials took four Salvadoran nationals into custody, and later charged three with manufacturing fraudulent documents. (Id.) Two of the individuals arrested had been previously deported, and the third man had an expired temporary protected status. (Id.) Police said the trio will likely face additional charges. (Id.)

FAIR’s sources in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were not surprised at the gang connection in this bust. The notorious MS-13 gang has a large percentage of Salvadoran members and is reputed to produce fraudulent and altered documents for use by illegal aliens.

Over the last few weeks Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have issued “notices of inspection” to Chipotle Mexican Grill, the popular fast-food burrito chain, at about 60 of its restaurants in Virginia and Washington, D.C. (LA Times, Feb. 7, 2011; My Fox DC, Feb. 7, 2011) The “notices of inspection” are warnings to the restaurant-chain that ICE will be conducting Form I-9 audits on its stores in an effort to discover unlawfully employed illegal aliens. (Id.) Form I-9 audits require employers to submit copies of I-9 employment-eligibility forms and other payroll documents to ICE officials for review. (Denver Post, Feb. 9, 2011) If documents are falsified, employers are given a warning, must dismiss the workers involved, and may be fined or face criminal charges in some instances. (Id.; See ICE Fact Sheet: Form I-9 Inspection Overview; Dec. 1, 2009)

The recent audits reflect the Obama Administration’s 2009 announcement that it plans to shift away from worksite enforcement actions (utilized by the Bush Administration) that focus on the illegal actions of both the employers and employees to a more employer oriented worksite enforcement strategy. (Fox News Latino, Feb. 8, 2011; CNN News, Feb. 8, 2011) Rather than taking illegal workers into custody, the current system of I-9 audits penalize companies discovered to have “knowingly” employed an illegal alien in violation of federal law (See INA Sec. 274A). ICE has nearly doubled its audits of employers in the last year to more than 2,700, but experts complain that this new policy is misleading. (Fox News Latino, Feb. 8, 2011) For example, under the Obama Administration’s I-9 audit program, ICE may or may not fine employers who have violated the law and ICE may issue a notice of intent to fine for a certain dollar amount, only to have that fine later reduced. And while employers usually fire the workers who cannot provide documentation that they are authorized to work, ICE does not detain or deport the illegal workers, leaving them free to find work elsewhere.

ICE’s activity in Washington, D.C. and Virginia comes shortly after ICE audited roughly 50 Chipotle restaurants in Minnesota at the end of last year. That audit resulted in the dismissal of hundreds of employees. (Reuters, Feb. 9, 2011) In response, protesters carried signs outside of one of the chain’s Minneapolis restaurants stating, “Chipotle: You cannot sell Mexican food and then sell out Mexican workers.” (Time, Feb. 9, 2011) However, Tanya, a 35-year-old woman who had been working illegally at the chain remarked, “I believe that when you go to apply there, they know beforehand that you don’t have papers.” (The Huffington Post, Feb. 8, 2011) Chipotle now faces a lawsuit from dismissed workers alleging that Chipotle violated Minnesota law by not immediately giving them their earned compensation upon their dismissal. (Fox News Latino, Feb. 9, 2011)

Chipotle spokesman, Chris Arnold, said that Chipotle uses a two-tier system of verifying its workers’ eligibility for employment. (Fox News Latino, Feb. 8, 2011) He explained that in the first step the hiring manager reviews the employment documents and then human resources personnel conduct a review. (Id.) “In spite of those two reviews for every set of documents, we still apparently had a number of people whose documents were not valid,” Arnold commented. (Id.) “On one hand, we must comply with ICE requirements to verify the status of every employee we hire, but we must do that without discriminating and violating the mandate of the Department of Justice,” Arnold said. (Washington Examiner, Feb. 7, 2011) According to Arnold, Chipotle is speaking with ICE about expanding its use of the E-Verify program, citing that it already uses it in states that require it such as Arizona and North Carolina. (Fox News Latino, Feb. 8, 2011)

THESE FIGURES ARE DATED. CNN REPORTS THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE MILLION MEXICAN GANG MEMBERS IN THIS NATION, AND THE MEX DRUG CARTELS HAVE DEEMED OUR BORDER ENTIRELY OPEN. BUT THEN SO DOES LA RAZA OBAMA!

Lou Dobbs Tonight

And there are some 800,000 gang members in this country: That’s more than the combined number of troops in our Army and Marine Corps. These gangs have become one of the principle ways to import and distribute drugs in the United States. Congressman David Reichert joins Lou to tell us why those gangs are growing larger and stronger, and why he’s introduced legislation to eliminate the top three international drug gangs.

HOW MANY ILLEGAL CRIMINALS ARE ON THE PROWL?

400,000 and they’re just waiting for OBAMA’S LA RAZA AMNESTY!

There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted for illegal alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. Those are just the ones apprehended. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals. Nobody knows how many more there are, but they are numerous and roaming your neighborhoods, preying on you and your family. Read more about it here.

Many of these heinous crimes are against children. How many children are being molested, raped, and murdered by illegal aliens? Nobody knows for sure but the numbers are staggering. To give you some idea of the prevalence of the crime, peruse the ICE Public Information News Releases.

While there are numerous reports of individual sexual predators such as Mexican Sex Offender and Six-Time Deportee in ICE Custody or Man Deported Following Conviction For Molesting 6-year-old, you will see many reports of multiple child predators being caught and deported. Some of them over the last two years are as follows:

In case you are interested, that is 250 illegal alien child molesters. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

When we talk about the costs to secure our borders, we need to ask "How many crimes against children is acceptable collateral damage?" Isn't that what it is all about? Cheap lettuce versus molested, raped and murdered children - a cost/benefit tradeoff.

Occasionally, the Federal Government decides to actually do something about some of the more violent illegal alien criminals - after they are already here and have committed mayhem! Operation Predator evolved out of ICE's mission to find and deport illegal aliens with the more heinous criminal records. The majority of the arrests under Operation Predator - roughly 85% - involved foreign nationals in this country whose child sex crimes made them removable from the United States. By matching immigration databases with state Megan's law directories, ICE agents have arrested more than 1,800 registered sex offenders.

Digressing for a moment, what the hell was a convicted, illegal alien sex offender even doing out of jail or not immediately deported – even if 63% do come right back - let alone roaming around the neighborhoods while on a registry! Has the judicial system in this country gone insane?

In any case, Operation Predator began on July 9, 2003, and resulted in 6,085 child predator arrests throughout the country - an average of roughly 250 arrests per month and eight arrests per day. While arrests have been made in every state, the most have occurred in these states: Arizona (207), California (1,578), Florida (255), Illinois (282), Michigan (153), Minnesota (190), New Jersey (423), New York (367), Oregon (148) and Texas (545).

While Operation Predator was a noble effort and ICE is to be commended, it only made a small dent in the criminal activity and number of horrific crimes being committed by illegal alien child sexual predators.

It is worth noting that some pedophile statistics report that each pedophile molests average of 148 children. If so, that could be as many as 900,580 victims from just the 6,085 illegal alien predators that were caught. Regardless, how many children being molested is acceptable collateral damage?

In fact, the criminal activity in the illegal alien community is now so bad that illegal aliens are being held for ransom and as slaves by other illegal aliens and smugglers are kidnapping illegal aliens from other smugglers! Then there is the fast growing "sex slave" problem as reported in The Girls Next Door, SEX TRAFFICKING - San Francisco Is A Major Center For International Crime Networks That Smuggle And Enslave, Raid in Tennessee ends girl's captivity as a sex slave Profiling Sex Trafficking: Illegal Immigrants At Risk, Latina Sex Slavery, and Police sting in Colorado shuts down Pacifica brothel

For more crimes committed by illegal aliens and the personal impact it has had on individual citizens see Immigrations Human Cost, Victims of Illegal Aliens, Crime Victims of Illegal Aliens, Escaping Justice, Predatory Aliens, Crimes involving immigrants from around the world, both legal and otherwise, and Victims of Illegal Aliens Memorial. Go to Fallen Heroes for information on a few more cops killed by illegal aliens.

When visiting any of the links and sites, keep in mind that nobody is tracking and reporting the crimes on a national basis and these are just the tip of the iceberg.

While it is a fact that most illegal aliens are law abiding, except for breaking immigration laws, it is also a fact that a significant percentage of illegal aliens have no respect for the rule of law and our legal customs. Many come with anti-American attitudes and philosophies that are totally alien to our culture, a subject addressed later in this paper. The end result is an ever-growing lawlessness among large portions of the illegal alien communities. It only makes sense that illegal alien criminals come to the United States - this is where the money is and our jails are a whole lot nicer than what they have in their home countries.

As previously noted, this report does not go into the property crimes being committed by illegal aliens. However, like the activities of other equal opportunity criminals, many property crimes are drug related, an activity that many illegal aliens, especially illegal alien gangs, are involved in. While violent crimes against one's person are the most serious, if your identity or car is stolen by an illegal alien you won't be too happy about it.

As a small example of property crimes, in 2003, according to the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles, 57,600 cars were stolen in Phoenix alone. The owner losses are estimated to exceed $864 million. Most of the stolen cars ended up in Mexico and were never recovered. How many of those cars were stolen by illegal alien criminals versus resident criminals is unknown but you can rest assured that illegal aliens had a large part of it..

THE U. S. CHAMBER of COMMERCE, ENEMY No. 1 OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HAS ALWAYS PUSHED FOR OPEN BORDERS, HORDES MORE ILLEGALS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.

THE CHAMBER’S MOTTO IS CORPORATE PROFITS CAN NEVER, EVER, EVER BE HIGH ENOUGH! IF THEY’RE NOT HIGH ENOUGH, THEN LEGALS MUST PAY BAILOUTS! AND WAGES CAN NEVER BE LOW ENOUGH! IF WAGES APPROXIMATE LIVING WAGES, THEN HORDES MORE ILLEGALS MUST BE ALLOWED TO POUR OVER OUR BORDERS.

BANK of AMERICA IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST GLOBAL BANKSTER CRIME WAVES IN HISTORY… AND NOT EVEN ONE HAS GONE TO PRISON! THIS BANK HAS PAID OUT $30 BILLION IN BONUSES IN 2010! AFTER FEEDING OFF AMERICAN PAID BAILOUTS ON THE FORECLOSURE DEBACLE THAT HAS ONLY BEGUN!

A feud between a security contracting firm and a group of guerrilla computer hackers has spilled over onto K Street, as stolen e-mails reveal plans for a dirty-tricks-style campaign against critics of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The tale began this month when a global hackers collective known as Anonymous broke into the computers of HBGary Federal, a California security firm, and dumped tens of thousands of internal company e-mails onto the Internet.

The move was in retaliation for assertions by HBGary Federal chief executive Aaron Barr that he had identified leaders of the hackers' group, which has actively supported the efforts of anti-secrecy Web site WikiLeaks to obtain and disclose classified documents.

The e-mails revealed, among other things, a series of often-dubious counterintelligence proposals aimed at enemies of Bank of America and the chamber. The proposals included distributing fake documents and launching cyber-attacks.

The chamber has adamantly denied any knowledge of the "abhorrent" proposals, including some contained in a sample blueprint outlined for Hunton & Williams, a law and lobbying firm that works for the chamber. The business group said in a statement Monday that the proposal "was not requested by the Chamber, it was not delivered to the Chamber and it was never discussed with anyone at the Chamber."

Two other security firms named in the e-mails, Berico Technologies and Palantir Technologies, also have issued statements distancing themselves from the plans. HBGary Federal and Hunton & Williams declined to comment.

The hacked e-mails suggest that the three security firms worked with Hunton & Williams in hopes of landing a $2 million contract to assist the chamber. Some of the e-mails, which were highlighted by the liberal Web site ThinkProgress on Monday, seem to suggest that the chamber had been apprised of the efforts. The chamber denied any such knowledge.

On Nov. 16, for example, Barr suggests in an e-mail to Berico that his company had spoken "directly" to the chamber despite the lack of a signed contract.

Other e-mails describe Hunton & Williams lawyer Bob Quackenboss as the "key client contact operationally" with the chamber and make references to a demonstration session that had "sold the Chamber in the first place."

On Dec. 1, a Palantir engineer summarized a meeting with Hunton & Williams, saying the law firm "was looking forward to briefing the results to the Chamber to get them to pony up the cash for Phase II." The proposed meeting was set to take place this past Monday, according to the e-mail.

"While many questions remain in the unfolding ChamberLeaks controversy, what's clear is that this multitude of emails clearly contradicts the Chamber's claim that they were 'not aware of these proposals until HBGary's e-mails leaked,' " ThinkProgress reporter Scott Keyes wrote in a blog post.

One Nov. 29 e-mail contains presentations and memos outlining how a potential counterintelligence program against chamber critics might work. The documents are written under the logo of Team Themis, which was the joint project name adopted by the three technology firms.

Several of the documents focus on ChamberWatch, a union-backed organization that criticizes the business lobby and many of its members. The documents include personal details about activists who work for the group and suggestions for targeting its reputation, including planting fake documents, tying the organization to radical activists or creating "fake insider personas" on social media.

ChamberWatch, one memo said, is "vulnerable to information operations that could embarrass the organization and those associated with it."

Christy Setzer, a ChamberWatch spokeswoman, said that "even if the chamber was not aware of these specific proposals, they were clearly aware of the work that was being done."

The chamber disagreed and singled out ThinkProgress for allegedly organizing a "smear campaign" similar to unproven allegations last year that the business group used foreign money in its domestic political activities.

"The leaked e-mails appear to show that HBGary was willing to propose questionable actions in an attempt to drum up business, but the Chamber was not aware of these proposals until HBGary's e-mails leaked," the chamber's statement said.

Palantir chief executive Alex Karp, a self-described progressive, said in a statement Monday that the Silicon Valley software firm had severed ties with HBGary Federal and placed on leave an engineer involved in the project pending a review.

"Palantir does not make software that has the capability to carry out the offensive tactics proposed by HBGary," Karp said. "Palantir never has and never will condone the sort of activities recommended by HBGary."

Berico's co-founders, Guy Filippelli and Nick Hallam, said in a statement Friday that they also had severed ties with HBGary Federal and had launched an internal investigation into the affair.

"Our leadership does not condone or support any effort that proactively targets American firms, organizations or individuals," the executives said, adding that such proposals "run counter to our organization's values."

Lou Dobbs Tonight

Monday, June 16, 2008

Tonight, we’ll have all the latest on the devastating floods in the Midwest and all the day’s news from the campaign trail. The massive corporate mouthpiece the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is holding a “North American Forum” to lay out its “shared vision” for the United States, Canada and Mexico – which is to say a borderless, pro-business super-state in which U.S. sovereignty will be dissolved. Undercover investigators have found incredibly lax security and enforcement at U.S. border crossings, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. This report comes on the heels of a separate report by U.C. San Diego that shows tougher border security efforts aren’t deterring illegal entries to the United States.

Government contractors targeted Chamber of Commerce's critics

Three data security firms submitted a plan to the Chamber of Commerce's law firm to monitor and discredit the chamber's critics, e-mails show. A proposal to help Bank of America was also requested.

By Tom Hamburger and Matea Gold, Washington Bureau

February 15, 2011

Reporting from Washington

Hoping to win a lucrative agreement with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, three data security contractors for federal defense and intelligence agencies developed a proposal to monitor and manipulate the chamber's left-leaning critics, according to recently released e-mail correspondence.

Employees of the firms compiled short dossiers on a few activists that included photographs, references to their families and charts of their relationships with other liberal and labor leaders.

A review of the correspondence, dating from late October through last week, suggested that the surveillance and intelligence gathering had begun only on a superficial basis in anticipation of a coming meeting with chamber officials.

The proposals were received by Hunton & Williams, a law firm that represents the chamber.

The firm, which also represents Bank of America, solicited a separate proposal from the security firms to help the bank deal with a threat by WikiLeaks, the international hacker organization, to release some of the bank's internal data.

Chamber officials as well as a spokesman for Bank of America said they knew nothing of the surveillance proposals until the e-mails were released Friday by Anonymous, a group that is sympathetic to WikiLeaks.

"No money, for any purpose, was paid to any of those three private security firms by the chamber, or by anyone on behalf of the chamber, including Hunton & Williams," the chamber said in a statement.

Hunton & Williams did not respond to requests for comment.

But in some of the e-mails, employees of the security firms and lawyers at Hunton & Williams refer to contacts they had made with the chamber about the proposed intelligence gathering.

The revelations in the e-mails triggered anxiety among some of those who were targeted.

"We are appalled at the allegations that have come to light in these e-mails," said Inga Skippings, communications director of the Service Employees International Union, some of whose allies were the subject of the intelligence gathering project. "The chamber should immediately come clean about its involvement with Hunton & Williams and the private security firms that allegedly planned these underhanded tactics."

ThinkProgress, an arm of the liberal Center for American Progress and a consistent critic of the chamber, first reported on the e-mails on its blog last week.

In a statement, the chamber accused its critics of "perpetrating a smear campaign by trying to create the illusion of a connection" between it and the security firms.

Officials for two of the security firms, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies, confirmed the authenticity of the e-mails sent by their employees but said top executives had no previous knowledge of them.

A spokeswoman for the third company, HBGary Federal, said executives could not address the details of the proposed work for Hunton & Williams, citing a nondisclosure agreement covering all parties.

Copies of the e-mails were provided to the Los Angeles Times by the labor and activist groups.

The correspondence shows that starting last fall, Hutton & Williams lawyers discussed with the security companies a project to be pitched to the chamber.

The three security firms, all of which are government contractors with secret clearances, proposed coming together as "Team Themis," apparently named after a Greek goddess of law and order, to monitor and possibly disrupt chamber opponents.

"Who better to develop a corporate information reconnaissance capability than companies that have been market leaders within the [Defense Department] and Intelligence Community," the companies wrote in a pitch to Hunton & Williams.

At one point, those working on the project estimated it could be worth $2 million.

A Team Themis report e-mailed to two Hunton & Williams attorneys in December by a Berico Technologies analyst suggested planting a "false document" in hopes it would be publicly released by anti-chamber groups. The plan also called for creating "two fake insider personas" inside the activist organizations that could then be used to discredit the groups.

Other sample reports included mock dossiers of activists, some with false information about their marital state and address but with actual photographs of them.

There is no evidence that the firms carried out those plans or used secret data to compile their dossiers.

Palo Alto-based Palantir Technologies and Arlington, Va.-based Berico Technologies have moved swiftly to distance themselves from the tactics described in the e-mails, severing their relationship with Sacramento-based HBGary Federal and saying that company proposed the aggressive tactics.

Alex Karp, chief executive of Palantir Technologies, a data integration software company, said in a statement Monday that it "never has and never will condone the sort of activities recommended by HBGary."

The company said it had placed on leave Matthew Steckman, a 26-year-old engineer who was the point person on the project, and apologized to those listed as targets in the campaign.

Guy Filippelli, chief executive of Berico Technologies, said he believed that his company was assisting development of a proposal to help the Chamber of Commerce and its members use public information to identify security and information threats.

"The initial prospective was actually pretty exciting for us, of being able to leverage our data analysis experience in the government space and do some things in the private sector," Filippelli said. "Our senior leadership was not aware at all of any nefarious tactics."

He said Berico Technologies failed to vet HBGary Federal before teaming up with it. In the course of the project, two junior analysts became aware of the tactics proposed by HBGary Federal but did not tell their superiors, he said.

Filippelli acknowledged that he did not monitor the proposal closely enough as it developed.

"I take full responsibility for those errors," he said. "Some of the things I saw in the e-mail trail were reprehensible. I just felt disappointed in the fact that we hadn't installed the right confidence in our people to come to us and say, 'This doesn't look right.' "

Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011 that illegal aliens should be gain 'legitimacy' in the United States through 'comprehensive immigration reform' law. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)

(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue, noting that 27 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or have given up on finding a job, said his organization supports a "way" "to legitimacy" for the estimated 12 to 14 million illegal aliens who are working in the United States.

“Unemployment had exceeded 9 percent for 20 consecutive months,” Donohue said in his annual State of American Business address at the Chamber’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “Some 27 million Americans are either unemployed, underemployed or have give up looking for work.”

“In fact,” Donohue said, “we must create 1.2 million jobs a year just to absorb the new entrants into our workforce.”

Later in his remarks, Donohue said the Chamber would continue its efforts in support of comprehensive immigration reform, which some conservative critics consider to be a form of amnesty.

“Almost all of us are sons, daughters, or descendents of immigrants,” Donohue said. “The Chamber will continue to pursue comprehensive immigration reform.” He also cited the "urgent" need to improve visa processing, oppose attempts to gut temporary worker programs, and increase the number of foreign worker visas.

At a press conference following his speech, Donohue was asked by CNSNews.com if comprehensive immigration reform included a so-called pathway to citizenship.

“We think the most important parts of comprehensive immigration reform would be, first of all, a way for the, shall we say 12 million here, to legitimacy so that they can easily participate in society, pay their taxes, drive cars and that sort of thing,” Donohue said. “Second we need a guest worker program,” he said. “People could easily come back and forth for work and some of that would be seasonally, for crops and for recreation organizations and so on.

“And third, we definitely need a way to deal with high-end, talented folks that are needed in this economy. Donohue called it "amazing" that after years of training in America, professionals such as Ph.Ds in chemical engineering are now finding it hard to stay here.

Donohue said citizenship for illegal aliens should not be the top priority. “I don’t think the citizenship thing is necessary right now,” said Donohue, adding that protecting the U.S. border was also important. “I think we ought to pick the four or five things that everybody needs and let’s get it done.”

Donohue also said that the United States should keep the promise it made to Mexico 15 years ago to allow “safe, carefully inspected” Mexican trucks to transport goods into the U.S., as called for in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Labor unions strongly oppose the plan.

Donohue said the U.S. economy is “in better shape than we found ourselves last year,” and he noted “a new tone coming out of the White House.”

One indication of warming relations between the White House and the Chamber, which represents 3 million mostly small businesses, includes a scheduled address by President Barack Obama at the group’s headquarters on Feb. 7.

Among the areas Donohue said the Chamber would concentrate on in 2011:

-- restraint and reform of the regulatory process, including stopping the EPA from enacting regulations to limit greenhouse gases – a task that should be left to Congress, he said.

--Expanding American trade, rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and developing U.S. energy resources, and reducing the federal debt and deficit also made the top four on Donohue’s to-do list.

Donohue concluded his remarks with his trademark line-in-the-sand approach while expressing optimism that the Chamber can “work together” with the Obama administration and Congress in the coming year.

“Our approach in Washington will be to call them as we see them,” Donohue said. ‘We’ll continue to have our differences with the White House on some issues but we’ll work together on other issues."

“We’ll support the new House leadership on many occasions, and we’ll work with Democratic legislators as well, but no one should expect the Chamber to march in lock step with anyone,” Donohue said.

“We have a clear mission and agenda of our own,” he said. “It’s to continue to win important policy victories for our members and the American business community. It’s to support, protect, and advance the free enterprise system that made this country great. And it’s to help create good jobs and promising opportunities for all the people of our country so that they can achieve the American dream."

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President Barack Obama announced, at the conclusion of a White House meeting earlier this month, the launching of bilateral North American Security Perimeter talks.

The stated aim of the negotiations is to greatly enhance the integration of Canadian and US border security and the harmonization of the two countries’ national security, immigration, refugee and regulatory regimes, so as to strengthen continental security, facilitate the cross-border movement of goods and people, and promote “economic competitiveness.”

The negotiations are to be based on a joint declaration Harper and Obama issued following their February 4 meeting. “Beyond the Border: a shared vision for perimeter security and economic competitiveness” calls for the longstanding across-the-board security cooperation between the Canadian and US militaries, police forces, and border protection agencies—including through NATO and the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD)—to be taken to a new level. “We intend,” states the joint declaration, “to pursue a perimeter approach to security, working together within, at, and away from the borders of our two countries to enhance our security and the legitimate flow of people, goods and services.”

The statement pledges the two countries will work together “to develop, implement, manage and monitor security initiatives, standards and practices” in the air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace and otherwise “enhance the security of our integrated transportation and communications networks.”

This will include “improved intelligence and information sharing” and other forms of enhanced cooperation with the aim of identifying, preventing, and countering “violent extremism” and verifying the identity of travelers.

The two countries will develop common standards for the collection and transmission of travelers’ biometrics and a common system for tracking persons entering and leaving Canada and the US. The statement also says that the two countries will “build on existing bilateral law enforcement programs to develop the next generation of integrated cross-border law enforcement operations.”

In other words, the negotiations are aimed at building up the repressive apparatus of the state on both sides of the border and furthering collaboration between the two states’ large and growing military and intelligence apparatuses.

Harper and Obama have established a bilateral Beyond the Border Working Group to develop a “joint Plan of Action” to realize the goals outlined in their declaration. They have also established a United States-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council with a two-year mandate to harmonize and streamline public health and safety and environmental regulations to improve “economic competitiveness”—that is, corporate profits.

Harper, in a separate statement, emphasized the Canadian elite’s commitment to its strategic-military partnership with Washington and Wall Street, declaring “a threat to the Unites States is a threat to Canada, to our trade, to our interests, to our values, and to our common civilization.

“Canada,” continued Harper, “has no friends among America’s enemies. And America has no better friend than Canada.”

Obama, in a remark that underscored that the implications of the proposed enhanced partnership between Canada and the US go far beyond the shores of North America, thanked the Canadian Prime Minister for his government’s recent decision to extend the deployment of Canadian Armed Forces personnel to Afghanistan for a further three years through 2014.

Powerful sections of the Canadian ruling elite have long been pressing for the creation of a North American security perimeter so as to underpin and deepen the economic partnership and continental economic integration fostered by the 1989 Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and its successor NAFTA. Represented by such organizations as the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, these sections of the ruling class view closer economic and security integration with the US as an essential element in their response to the emergence of new powers in Asia, the division of the world market into regional trading blocs, the growth of geopolitical tensions among the great powers, and the ever-diminishing share of global trade and investment that falls to Canadian capital. They also view closer integration with the US as providing them with a lever to press for regressive changes in socioeconomic and national security policy that have hitherto been resisted by the populace.

That said, Canadian big business is also driven by fear that the benefits they have accrued from the free trade agreement with the US are being eroded. In particular they fear the continued “thickening” of the Canada-US border—the gamut of new restrictions and impediments Washington has placed on the free movement of goods and people between the two countries in the name of the “war on terror.”

During the 1990s, the rapid growth of Canada-US trade was a major engine of economic growth in Canada. While the reduction of tariffs and reorientation of the Canadian economy to more fully serve the US market was associated with factory closures and social dislocation for the working class, it swelled corporate profits.

The last decade, however, saw a sharp drop in the percentage of Canada’s trade going to the US, from slightly under 85 percent to around 73 percent. While many factors contributed to this, including the growth of competition from Asia and the rise in the value of the Canadian dollar, Canada’s trade with the US was badly impacted by the “thickening” of the Canada-US border following the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Increased surveillance and paperwork as well as repeated terrorist scares and alerts led to increased costs and lengthy delays at border crossings to the point that the car makers and many other large integrated producers were forced to abandon “just-in-time” manufacturing.

The Canadian corporate elite’s anxieties over the thickening border are coupled with a series of other economic and strategic concerns. These include fears that Canada is losing influence in Washington as Canada’s role in the US economy declines in relative terms and that of China, Mexico and other countries grows, and that the free trade deals Washington has struck with other countries are eroding the value of Canada’s privileged access to the US market. There is also longstanding resentment that Canada has been unable to secure guaranteed access to the US market. (Neither FTA nor NAFTA exempted Canada from US Congressional oversight of trade laws.)

The development of a closer partnership with the US—including a US-led security perimeter and more explicit and binding guarantees from Canada of its role as an “all-weather” supplier of oil and other forms of energy to the US—has been touted with increasing frequency over the last decade by prominent ruling-class spokesmen and think tanks as a means of advancing the Canadian bourgeoisie’s interests in a new era of economic and geopolitical upheaval.

The calculation is that the forging of a North American Security Perimeter will not only facilitate trade with the US, but that it will give Canada increased influence in Washington, and place it in a unique strategic relationship with the US.

That what is envisaged is a Fortress North America—an economic and military-strategic bloc directed against the US and Canadian bourgeoisies’ overseas rivals and the working class of both countries—is bluntly spelled out in a February 2 Globe and Mail op-ed column authored by Colin Robertson, a former Canadian diplomat and the current vice-president of the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute.

“We need to take this next step,” wrote Robertson, “because the gains of the free trade deals were realized a decade ago… Mr. Obama’s declaration that he’ll double US exports gives us our opening because the dynamics of supply chain integration means we have to be part of this equation… Our shared objectives will be to take a ‘perimeter’ approach to mutual security, to ‘smarten up’ the border, to take a blowtorch to the regulatory thicket and to strategically manage our shared environment and its resources.

The Canadian elite—or at least its dominant faction—is determined to convince Washington that, to use Robertson’s words, “including us in the security blanket serves US national security and economic interests.”

Such a strategic orientation can only add further impetus to the Canadian bourgeoisie’s turn to a “more muscular” foreign policy based on the rearmament of the Canadian Armed Forces and its deployment in Afghanistan and other imperialist wars.

Significantly, Ottawa is already coming under pressure from Washington to take a leading role alongside the US in the Mexican drug wars—an operation that is being used to assert a US security presence in the impoverished but increasingly economically important country that lies directly to the south of the “dollar republic.” In a speech in Toronto late last year, Admiral James Winnefeld, the head of the Pentagon’s Northern Command and NORAD, publicly declared that “Canada has a future in working with [its] two American neighbours to fight a common, corrosive and growing threat to all our societies.”

The proposed North American Security Perimeter is an attempt to deepen the strategic alliance between Canadian and US imperialism and it must be actively and energetically opposed by the working class from the standpoint of uniting workers in Canada, with their class brothers and sisters in the US and Mexico in a common struggle for workers’ governments and the development of the Socialist United States of North America.

Such a perspective is diametrically opposed of that of sections of the Liberal Party, the social-democratic NDP, and the unions, who, under the banner of “defending Canadian sovereignty,” are opposing the security perimeter talks. These forces articulate the interests of sections of the Canadian bourgeoisie who fear they will be wiped out in the event of closer economic integration with the US or who hope to maintain greater room for Canada’s ruling elite to assert its own predatory interests independent of those of Washington.
